Pilot Clean and Green Energy Technology and Organic Farming concept towards Empowerment and better livelihoods of Farmers?
Navreet Energy Research and Information (NERI) is a registered society working in the field of eco-friendly energy and optimum utilization of natural resources and its management for up-gradation of livelihoods of rural community in a sustainable way. In conformation to its objectives NERI is implementing a project on Clean and Green Energy Technology and Organic Farming concept towards Empowerment and better livelihoods of Farmers with the Small Grants Program.
The specific objectives of the project are :
? To implement and propagate clean practices of energy, towards irrigation in fields by biomass powered irrigation pumps.
? To promote organic farming, use of bio-pesticides and vermi-composting at rural level, using locally available resources for environmental and economic benefits.
? Enriching the fertility of soil and helping farmers in getting more value form the agriculture fields. The project aims at promoting Biomass waste as an ideal fuel and demonstrating its use for running irrigation pumps and use of available biomass, animal and kitchen waste in the form of manure and bio pesticides.
The specific projected outputs of the project are:
? 19350 kg of carbon emission will be saved through ten bio-mass powered irrigation pumps
? Considerable amount of oxides, nitrogen, sulfur and hydrocarbon emission will be reduced
? USD 18877 will be saved annually on diesel by farmers and biomass powered irrigation pumps will create less noise thus reducing sound pollution.

Project Characteristics and Results
Policy Impact
? A resource centre with adequate facilities such as technical expertise, organizational centre, operational and maintenance services will be established to solve any practical difficulties faced. Each farmer participating in the project will have his own composting pit and arrangement for preparation of bio pesticides. Technology User Group (TUG) of farmers will be constituted to take care of other associated activities
Capacity - Building Component
A technology users group will be formed in the villages and the farmers will be trained in the operations and maintenance of the pump sets. A resource centre will also be set up by the farmers to propagate the technology.
